> [@stadi](#): > > What I really dislike is the inclusion of tapioca. This is a step back and not a step up. Oats are a complete food (you could say natural, as you seem to be really into that) and tapioca is just plain starch (which you could argue is unnatural). This for me is a huge reduction in quality. > > The reason for the inclusion of tapioca seems to be the change of consistency. I really like the current consistency, if Huel will be smoother now then I will really dislike that. Yeap I agree I didn’t want the texture to change at first either. However, this is an improvement in terms of texture and mixability, there’s still that texture from the oats as they’re still the largest ingredient. > [@stadi](#): > > It probably has to do with the tapioca content but now Huel includes more carbohydrates, less protein, less fibre and more salt. This is also a step back. Even if this is not a huge difference, but it is and in the wrong direction. There’s less than a gram difference, you will probably find the same variation in something like tomoatoes because of the season, I wouldn’t worry. > [@stadi](#): > > I would like to see some Omega 3 from algae oil (but as someone mentioned some people had issues with that so that might not be the best idea). You are mentioning prebiotics but there was actually no change there. Why not include some additional plant based prebiotics? Great suggestions! Algae oil probably would cause gut issues so best to avoid, espeically when we already have am omega-3:omega-6 ratio of 1:1. The additional prebiotics is an interesting one and certainly something we can look at. Again the issue may be gut issues if the inclusion is too high. > [@andeem](#): > > Allergic reactions due to airborne nut exposure is a myth, seems to be the current scientific understanding. Yes you’re right, I should have been clearer. The risk is mainly from a reaction to touching surfaces, however mild that may be. The point is tiny amounts can cause a reaction, we want to make affected customers aware. > [@ChristinaT](#): > > will there be work done to provide us with actual values for caffeine and alcohol content Yes we will have test results for caffeine when they’re returned. Alcohol we will not because it’s going to come back below testing levels, so there’s no point. You’re not going to taste it or even know it’s there in the same way alcohols may be used to extract flavours such as strawberry. > [@Tristan](#): > > Can you confirm that you’ll only be sourcing kelp from sustainable sources? Sure can! Our suppliers have BRC and Nutritious Food Seaweed certification. Defining parameters for Nutritious Food Seaweed include: - Single living species of documented age and freshness - Documented physical and nutritional quality - Traceability from end use to documented sustainable source - Regulatory compliance for global markets - Standard Operating Procedures, independent analysis and accreditation - Environmental sustainability --- _[View the full topic](https://discuss.huel.com/t/why-the-price-of-huel-powder-is-changing-with-the-launch-of-v3-0/15917)._
